What is the most common Easter decoration?

Easter is celebrated differently around the world, and naturally, the decoration will differ a little. In Sweden and Scandinavia, you will find a great deal of natural twigs decorated with feathers and hanging Easter ornaments. However, in recent years we have seen more and more minimalistic decoration for the table and table setting.

What colours should I decorate with for Easter?

In Scandinavia, the classic Easter colours are yellow and purple. Traditionally, the Easter decoration was based around these colours.

However, today Easter decoration is popular in all colours. In recent years, Easter decoration trends have seen a great deal of neutral and monochrome colour-schemes. Why not try an all-white Easter table?

A simple Scandinavian table setting:

Scandinavian living is all about simplicity: Here is how you create a typical Scandinavian Easter table setting:

• Create a base with a colourful oilcloth. Oilcloths are easy to clean and add a pop of colour to the table.
• Use simple porcelain to balance the colours of the oilcloth. Scandinavian living is all about functionality – there is no space in the home for a separate Easter tableware-set.
• Create a centrepiece with a large glass vase. Fill the vase with Easter eggs and place some spring twigs in it. Decorate the twigs with hanging Easter ornaments and feathers.

4 easy Easter decoration ideas for your table setting

1. Place some spring bulbs into egg cups to add a pop of greenery to your table.
2. Decorate the table with actual boiled eggs in various colours.  This creates a natural touch to the table setting.
3. Pick natural spring flowers outside and place them in small vases on the table. This will add both colour and scent!
4. For place settings, write the name on a piece of eggshell instead of cards.
